IAEA Rejects Resolution Urging Israel to Join Nuke Treaty
---------------------------------------------------------



The International Atomic Energy Agency has narrowly rejected a
resolution calling on Israel to join the nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty. Arab states were pushing for the resolution in an attempt to put
all of Israel’s nuclear facilities under the oversight of the IAEA. For
decades, Israel has been the only nation in the Middle East with a
nuclear weapons arsenal, though the country has never acknowledged its
nuclear program.
